The Sigma, which like Didier I haven't seen yet, may be close if its wide open response is up to snuff. I have little doubt that a Leica/Panasonic or Oly version would perform up to par with my old M glass.. Especially if, as you mention below, the superb higher-end Olympus zoom lens performance is any guide. The 11-22 is indeed as good as any wide angle prime I've ever used. (Haven't tried the 35-100 yet.) Will On Jun 15, 2006, at 6:24 AM, B. D. Colen wrote: > There are also several Olympus primes, including a 150 f 2 (300 f 2 in > 35mm-speak) that is scary good.
